Having Sundays Off to Attend Church Could Be A Reasonable Religious Accommodation

1/31/2022

 
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has settled a lawsuit against a company that provides delivery services for Amazon, in which the EEOC claimed that the company discriminated against one of its employees because of his sincerely held religious beliefs.  The EEOC’s lawsuit alleged that the employee requested Sundays off of work so that he could attend church services.  The delivery company scheduled this employee on a Sunday despite his request.  The employee reminded the dispatcher that he was not able to work on Sundays because of his religious beliefs.  When he failed to appear for work on Sunday, the company terminated his employment.  Such alleged conduct is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which requires employers to grant reasonable accommodations for an employee’s sincerely held religious beliefs.  See EEOC v. Tampa Bay Delivery Service, LLC,  No. 8:21-cv-02302 (M.D. Fla.).
